# Facebook bans QAnon across its platforms - Host: [nbcnews.com](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/hosts/nbcnews.com/) - Saved: October 6, 2020 (2020-10-07T03:00:19Z) - Record: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/38fc8336f728/ - JSON: https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/38fc8336f728.json ## What Jamie wrote Regular readers know that I regularly and frequently bash on Facebook. To put it mildly, I’m not a fan. I told Tammy that was going to have to say something nice about them this week when this news came out that they have banned QAnon across the entire platform. This is a good thing. It is good for Facebook, for all of us, for our country… the list goes on. Now, I could gripe that their refusal to take any action earlier is why QAnon is where it is. I could point out that they selectively wrap themselves in Free Speech arguments that are meaningless in a public company website. But I’m going to just say "Well Done" Zuck and pals. ## Facts - Kind: [Page](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/kinds/page/) ## Appears in - [WT160: Weekly Thing #160 / Unlived Life, Disinformation, Snowflake ❄️](https://weekly.thingelstad.com/archive/160/), Recommended Links ## Same host - [Millions of people uploaded photos to the Ever app. Then the company used them to develop facial recognition tools.](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/c5a19047fcff/) (nbcnews.com, May 14, 2019) - [QAnon groups have millions of members on Facebook, documents show](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/461f91019d34/) (nbcnews.com, August 23, 2020) - [YouTube bans QAnon, other conspiracy content that targets individuals](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5893248a7cad/) (nbcnews.com, October 19, 2020) - [U.S. officials urge Americans to use encrypted apps amid cyberattack](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/5a6c73a8b8e1/) (nbcnews.com, December 4, 2024) ## Saved the same week - [Google is giving $1 billion to news publishers — to help convince governments not to take a whole lot more than that » Nieman Journalism Lab](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/840e3a3f9674/) (niemanlab.org, October 6, 2020) - [How to Create Internal Company Newsletters with Proven Examples](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/98b9814f3012/) (chamaileon.io, October 6, 2020) - [Monolith -> Services: Theory & Practice | by Kent Beck | Oct, 2020 | Medium](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/108b40a15bcf/) (medium.com, October 6, 2020) - [How we built a $1m ARR SaaS startup – Canny Blog](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/a7b98d519598/) (canny.io, October 6, 2020) - [All Consuming](https://links.thingelstad.xyz/links/afe232763024/) (allconsuming.show, October 6, 2020) ## Elsewhere - Wayback Machine: https://web.archive.org/web/*/https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/tech-news/facebook-bans-qanon-across-its-platforms-n1242339
